When the holiday hustle begins to stress me out, one of my favorite ways to unwind is to sit in the glow of the Christmas tree lights late at night. I turn off all the other lights in the house, wrap up in a cozy blanket, and make a cup of something warm and soothing–herbal tea or warm vanilla milk–and sit down to simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
This song by Voctave makes me think of the peace I experience during my late-night meditations. The lyrics are soft and speak to my soul. When I get frazzled with to-do lists and too many activities, I can be still and remind myself that “all is well.”
All is well because…
- My God has richly supplied my every need.
- I know that my Redeemer lives.
- Although life isn’t pain-free, joy comes in the morning.
All is well because…
- The peace of Christ rules in my heart.
- Love never fails.
- My hope is in God.
Most of all, I can say that “all is well” because God loved this world so much that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Because of the birth of Jesus, the course of the whole world was changed. Jesus was willing to take on human flesh with its weaknesses and failings. Because of his willingness to obey his Father, he made himself nothing. He humbled himself so much that he was even willing to die for us! (Philippians 2:6-8).
I get chills when I stop to truly consider the last verse of “All is Well.” My spirit soars just like the notes of this song. And I can truly say, because of Jesus: All is well!
All is well all is well
Lift up your voice and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well
